I appreciate your opinion.

 

It's now a proven fantasy & fallacy.

 

Well, as I said above - buying American sold products only, (not buying Chinese, not accepting Chinese), 

       has STILL resulted in my personal info being compromised, & promulgated any way! Proven recently!

 

So I pay extraordinarily extra USA prices for the same, exact Chinese sold products?  Comforted by my fantasy that American purchased, Chinese products, protects my personal info??

You can add me to the list of folks that do not buy from TEMU, I buy from USA companies that sell items made in the USA. Do a search for USAMade(dot)com and you will find a huge website that features all sorts of companies and products that are actually made and sold in the USA.

@JoyFilled Warrior.  If you think you have all the answers, why did you bother us with the question?  We don't really care what you do or where you shop.

With all due respect, I "didnt bother you." 

YOU bothered you.   I dont even have access to your Phone/Laptop!

No way in hades would I buy from them.

Before last fall, I received over three dozen packages over a span of about 18 months. All with my address but different peoples names. I’ve never ordered from them or even looked at their website.

There was no way to stop the onslaught of packages. All cheap looking junk.

No charges ever appeared on my accounts.

Sleazy and I have all kinds of questions about their security.

You are most welcome! And there are many other sites, but you do need to look for them, I have a list of sites on my computer. When I owned the travel agencies we had several steel making companies as clients, we were not permitted to enter the gates of the parking lots in a forgeign vehicle. So if we were delivering a ticket or calling on the account we had to make sure the vehicle was American made or the person doing the delivery needed to park on the street and walk in. Steel and coal built our town, their closings destroyed it.

This topic and the issues related to it have been a repeated subject. I think if one regularly reads and has posted in the other threads on this very subject they would remember. Or perhaps they are being disingenuous. Some care about the concerns, some don't. Some are more concerned about the cost of materialistic items. 


Evil doers, those entities that don't have anyone's best interest at heart,  know exactly how to exploit and latch onto a vulnerability, and use it against you.

It's been reported repeatedly that this site has the capability of not only attaching itself to your device, but also those in your contacts. To have the capability to plant malware, to access other apps on a device, to include text and emails. I imagine that would also include one's wallet. 

I'm of the belief that some entities are in for the long game They may not find use for information for 5, or 10, or 20 years down the road. I try my best not to help them.

@Tinkrbl44.  I figure if you want to buy junk, it's safer to just go to your local dollar store.


@Kachina624 

🤣 Oh, my! That's hysterical. I love buying junk (and a few nice things) at my local dollar store. I can get a whole cart of stuff for under $20. 👍
